Its soft polyester-based textures require product-specific decisions about colour, pile, location, underlay and cleaning.<\/p><\/div><\/header><div style=\"max-width:860px;padding:24px;margin:0 auto;font-size:17px;line-height:1.75\"><section style=\"margin:34px 0\"><h2 style=\"font-size:27px;line-height:1.25\">Who makes Gaia carpets?<\/h2><p>Gaia is listed within the Associated Weavers carpet brand portfolio.

They can differ in texture, pile and widths. FloorDesigns&#8217; existing research identifies examples such as Indus 27 Sage Green and Sarno 30 Pure.<\/p><\/section><section style=\"margin:34px 0\"><h2 style=\"font-size:27px;line-height:1.25\">Is Gaia carpet made from wool?<\/h2><p>Gaia&#8217;s manufacturer brand information describes polyester-based pile materials.
